Automation is playing a key role in manufacturing industries to help reduce production costs, increase efficiency in production, improve product quality, etc. New methods of system integration are being adopted worldwide that enable manufacturers to efficiently manage their day-to-day activities effortlessly. However, the integration of these numerous and diverse technologies requires a high degree of interconnectivity that significantly complicates the design.

America’s electrical distribution grid has been in service for over 100 years. While a grid of this size is a technological marvel, it’s aging fast.
According to the Department of Energy, 70% of the grid’s transmission lines and power transformers are over 25 years old. And the average age of America’s power plants is over 30 years old. All the while, our power demands continue to grow.

Low power consumption and long lifetime are two main tenets of modern electronic design. To perpetuate development, design engineers continuously search for new technologies that both add functionality and improve reliability.

The global adoption of electric vehicles underlines the need for quality relays and components to ensure a robust electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure. According to the International Energy Agency, the number of electric vehicles worldwide in 2020 is projected to grow to 20 million. As the market expands, the demand for more electric vehicle charging stations is becoming increasingly necessary.

In today's white goods and appliance markets, the need to precisely measure air and liquid pressure is growing. And as MEMS technology advances, small and accurate pressure sensors are allowing engineers to do more with less.

With the exponential growth in the wearables market, manufacturers of electronic components are designing smaller, more powerful products such as accurate sensors and high-resolution digital displays that are kick-starting the future of virtual reality.
